Gass made a birthday wish during a concert that the next assassin wouldn’t miss trump back when that dude shot at him during a rally. Black publicly said he would “never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form”. They cancelled their tour and went on temporary hiatus.
While I disagree with Black, I do understand why he would say that. MAGAs were itching to find someone to shoot at the time. If I were an entertainer I would not want them showing up to my show shooting at my fans.
The most recent interview with Gass has him saying this: “Somebody called my mom. My poor 95-year-old mom. It hits close to home, and you want to be brave and courageous, but I’m not a congressman. We’re just entertainers. And it just bespeaks the insanity of the times. It feels almost vindictive."
But both Gass and Black have said they’ll be back as Tenacious D. Black said he loves the D and everybody has to take a break sometimes. Gass said they’ve hashed it out.
Friends go through shit sometimes. And these two have been friends for like a thousand years. Their friendship just happens to be public and people take sides when they see it happen.
Edit: took out a sentence that I had in there twice.
During that night’s concert, Black led the crowd in a rendition of “Happy Birthday,” while their friend, Mike Bray, dressed in a metal robot costume (a bit for the D’s song “The Metal”), held out a cake filled with candles. When Black told Gass to make a wish, Gass quipped, “Don’t miss Trump next time.”
The line got laughs, and the show moved along. But later that night, as Gass was celebrating in his hotel room, he started to realize his improvised one-liner was stoking political outrage. An array of right-wing media figures lashed out; Elon Musk called Gass’ comments “contemptible.” Charlie Kirk tweeted, “These people are more twisted and vile than we realized,” and an Australian politician even demanded Tenacious D be deported.
That night, Jack quit the band… but now they’re back together… La la la la
what?
Not the person you asked.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
I lifted that straight from the interview. Dude is funny.
I’m sure they’ve had discussions on which of them loves the D more, and it felt more believable coming from Mr. Black.

You’ve said far worse. When you could speak.
“Charlie Kirk tweeted…” And thankfully never again.
A great example of what it looks like to not miss.
kyle gass under fire for being too based
Even the most based opinions create enemies.
If it doesn’t make certain people your enemies it’s not really based is it.
